Who cares? He's gone. Right, wrong, or otherwise. It WAS a big distraction and hopefully in the next couple of days things start getting back to normal around here now that he is gone, and we can all look forward to a great season.
Agreed. I would imagine a lot of the roster feels like this is the stadium/team they should have played in February and I think they will come out with their hair on fire. Allen seems to love the big stage and this is a big one!
I was in 6th through 9th grade for the SB runs. That era ABSOLUTELY weighed into me sticking with them all these years. For me it was my childhood team and even though there was so much pain in those SB losses that era hooked me for life.
I tend to think the HOF has too many people in it. A lot people use the criteria that "if you can't tell the story of the NFL without player X, they belong in the Hall". I think the story of the NFL can often be told just fine without a bunch of this year's class (all great players but not necessarily HOF players (beyond obviously them actually now being HOF players lol).
